Neeraj Chopra (IND): Men's Jevelin Throw: The Olympic javelin champion became a world champion in 2023.
Neeraj Chopra of India won the Asian Games with a throw of 88.88m, which was the fourth-best throw of his career and put him in second place on the year's world top list. He started the season with a win and finished it with a win.

Ryan Crouser (USA) : Men's Shot Put: Crouser Wins with Massive 23.51 Meters
Things didn't go as planned for Ryan Crouser in 2023, but the shot put star still beat his own world record and kept his title, showing how tough he was.
Mondo Duplantis (SWE): Men's Pole Vault: Mondo Duplantis, the Swedish pole vault star, has won another world title and set a new world record.
Soufiane El Bakkali (MAR): Men's 3000M Steeplechase: Soufiane El Bakkali kept up his great consistency all the way through 2023. He won all five of his steeplechase rounds and set a new personal best time of 7:56.68.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen (NOR): Men's 5000M: Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen won gold and silver in the world 5000m and 1500m races for the second year in a row. This was part of a season that also saw him set a world record and run a world record.
Kelvin Kiptum (KEN) : Men's Marathon In Valencia, near the end of 2022, Kenyan Kelvin Kiptum ran his first marathon in 2:01:53. This got a lot of attention. The 23-year-old may have broken the world record when he ran the TCS London Marathon in April in 2:01:25. It wasn't a question of whether he could do it, but when.
Pierce LePage (CAN): Men's Decathlon: Pierce LePage of Canada had the best race of his life in Budapest, where he scored 8909 points to win the world decathlon title.
Noah Lyles (USA): Men's 200M: Noah Lyles went to Budapest and won three more gold medals, this time in the 100m and the 4x100m relay. He also kept his world 200-meter title.
Alvaro Martin (ESP): Men's 35KM Race Walk: Alvaro Martin won his first worldwide title in the 20km race walk, making him the first person to win a gold medal at the World Championships in Budapest. Five days later, he won gold in the 35km event, which was twice as much as the first prize.
Miltiadis Tentoglou (GRE): Men's Long Jump: Miltiadis Tentoglou won his first world title in Budapest, just like Neeraj Chopra did in the javelin after winning the Olympics in Tokyo. He did it in style. In a performance similar to the one that won him the gold medal at the Olympics, the 25-year-old Greek made the best jump of the race in the final round to win the world title. He jumped 8.52 meters to complete his golden collection of long jump titles.
